Our team of divorce solicitors has extensive experience in dealing with financial settlements on divorce for our clients. Our success has come by ensuring that strong negotiations are carried out whilst avoiding lengthy proceedings.

Divorce and Financial Settlements

To ensure strong negotiations it is vital that Lloyd Platt & Company has a full and clear understanding of both parties' financial position and all assets. Once this disclosure stage is completed and values have been agreed the negotiations can begin and a settlement can be reached.

Because of the expertise of the various members of the firm in reading Accountancy Reports, understanding share transactions, off shore trusts and accounts and movement of monies and complex business transactions, companies and tax schemes, we are adept at such cases.

When a marriage or dissolution of a civil partnership occurs courts have a range of powers regarding the financial settlement, including areas such as:

• Maintenance payments


• Property ownership


• Lump sum payments


• Pensions

Financial settlements on divorce are also heavily influenced any children involved in the case. The primary concern for the court is the welfare of children. In addition the court will also consider income levels, savings, housing requirements, the length of the marriage or civil partnership, your health and any other factors which affect the case.
